Using host vars in ansible playbooks with dynamic inventory

[travisjohnsonga]

Hello all -

I have configured dynamic inventory for ansible, and it works fine.

plugin: netbox.netbox.nb_inventory
api_endpoint: https://netbox
token: token
validate_certs: false
config_context: false
group_by:

• sites
  site_data: true

In a playbook I use to have a variable called FACTS_OUT_PATH that I want to replace with the sites.facility variable, but not sure how to do that.

I tried just replacing with this, but /data/configbackups/{{ sites.facility }}

then I get below when running the playbook.

"The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'facility' is undefined"
